The Governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, on Friday attended the funeral service of the late Mrs. Eunice Nnenwa Nwabue, mother-in-law to a former Secretary to the Government of Delta State, Comrade Ovuozorie Macaulay.
The service took place at St. Michael’s Anglican Church, Oka Ichi, Anambra State.
Governor Oborevwori was represented at the occasion by his Deputy, Sir Monday Onyeme, Ph.D.
In attendance were Hon. Charles Aniagwu, Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads); Prince Johnson Erijo, Chief of Staff, Government House, Asaba; and Hon. Solomon Ighrakpata, Chairman of the Delta State Internal Revenue Service, along with his wife, Dr. (Mrs.) Fidelia Ighrakpata.
Also at the event were Chief Dele Ezeoba, Engr. Gabriel Amuchi, Olorogun Fred Majemite, Mr. Sam Ogiri, and Sir Patrick Ferife, among other personalities.
In his sermon, Rt Revd Ewomazino Benjamin Idume, Bishop of Ozoro Diocese of the Anglican Communion, urged Christians to remain focused and believe that life is a divine gift. He reminded the congregation that there is a time for everything in life and that they should dedicate their lives to serving God and humanity.
According to Bishop Idume, the late Mrs. Eunice Nnenwa Nwabue was “a woman who lived a full and meaningful life, experiencing both joyful and challenging moments with grace.”
”Her life was not defined merely by the length of her years, but by the love she shared, the values she upheld, and the positive impact she made on those around her,” he said.
Mama was praised for her selfless devotion to her children, whom she raised with patience, prayer, discipline, and sacrifice.
The cleric admonished the children and grandchildren to remain united in both grief and gratitude.
